PLAS-tastic: A Brief History of Plastic Man

It's not hard to find a stretchy crime-fighter...but the original elastic wonder first appeared in Police Comics #1 in August 1941. Plastic Man's distinctive physical presence and tongue-in-cheek nature has made him a favorite of many modern-day comic book writers and animation industry icons. DC Comics' writer MARK EVANIER, famed cartoon voice actor TOM KENNY, and revered animation producer JAMES TUCKER are just a few of PLASTIC MAN'S most ardent supporters. The 67 year journey of PLASTIC MAN takes center stage as an informative and entertaining historical featurette with something for the uninitiated bystander and the hard-core PLASTIC fan.

Puddle Trouble

Never-before aired (and rarely seen) pilot for what might have been a Plastic Man animated series on Cartoon Network. {"Watch as our elastic hero captures the crooks, confounds the cops, and learn of his secret origin and history as a hood himself!"}

UPDATE: Warner Home Video has now sent out an e-announcement for this title, a virtual sale sheet for retailers which shows off an early look at the package art. Check it out:
